During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N. Forces that exceed this amount

could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass. The person with a mass of 65 kg is initially traveling at 18 m/s (40 mi/h).

Answer:

a) t = 0.0585 s  

b) s = 0.5265 m

Explanation:

Given:

- maximum possible force F = 4000 N

- mass of person = 65 kg

- mass of knees and other m = 0.2*65 = 13 kg

- initial velocity u = 18 m/s

- Final velocity v = 0

Find:

a) Minimum stopping time

b) Minimum stopping distance.

Solution:

Minimum stopping time can be evaluated by Newton's second law of motion. Where change in momentum per unit time is Average force experienced by the body:

                                   F = m*(v - u) / dt

                                   dt = 13*(0 - (-18)) / 4000

Hence ,                       dt = 0.0585                

       

Minimum stopping distance can be evaluated by using equation of motions and required deceleration is as follows:

                                  a = - 4000  / 13

                                  a = -307.692 m/s^2

And,

                                 s = (v^2 - u^2) / 2*a

                                 s = (0 - 18^2) / 2*(-307.692)

                                s = 0.5265 m  

Answer: The minimum stopping time and distance are t = 0.0585 s and s = 0.5265 m, respectively.

The circuit you should use to find the open-circuit voltage is
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Incomplete questions check attachment for circuit diagram.

Explanation:

We are going to use superposition

So, we will first open circuit the current source and find the voltage Voc.

So, check attachment for open circuit diagram.

From the diagram

We notice that R3 is in series with R4, so its equivalent is given below

Req(3-4) = R3 + R4

R(34) = 20+40 = 60 kΩ

Notice that R2 is parallel to the equivalent of R3 and R4, then, the equivalent of all this three resistor is

Req(2-3-4) = R2•R(34)/(R2+R(34))

R(234) = (100×60)/(100+60)

R(234) = 37.5 kΩ

We notice that R1 and R(234) are in series, then, we can apply voltage divider rule to find voltage in R(234)

Therefore

V(234) = R(234) / [R1 + R(234)] × V

V(234) = 37.5/(25+37.5) × 100

V(234) = 37.5/62.5 × 100

V(234) = 60V.

Note, this is the voltage in resistor R2, R3 and R4.

Note that, R2 is parallel to R3 and R4. Parallel resistor have the same voltage, then voltage across R2 equals voltage across R34

V(34) = 60V.

Now, we also know that R3 and R4 are in series,

So we can know the voltage across R4 which is the Voc we are looking for.

Using voltage divider

V4 = Voc = R4/(R4 + R(34)) × V(34)

Voc = 40/(40+60) × 60

Voc = 24V

This is the open circuit Voltage

Now, finding the short circuit voltage when we short circuit the voltage source

Check attachment for circuit diagram.

From the circuit we notice that R1 and R2 are in parallel, so it's equivalent becomes

Req(1-2) = R1•R2/(R1+R2)

R(12) = 25×100/(25+100)

R(12) = 20 kΩ

We also notice that the equivalent of Resistor R1 and R2 is in series to R3. Then, the equivalent resistance of the three resistor is

Req(1-2-3) = R(12) + R(3)

R(123) = 20 + 20

R(123) = 40 kΩ

We notice that, the equivalent resistance of the resistor R1, R2, and R3 is in series to resistor R4.

So using current divider rule to find the current in resistor R4.

I(4) = R(123) / [R4+R(123)] × I

I(4) = 40/(40+40) × 8

I(4) = 4mA

Then, using ohms law, we can find the voltage across the resistor 4 and the voltage is the required Voc

V = IR

V4 = Voc = I4 × R4

Voc = 4×10^-3 × 40×10^3

Voc = 160V

Then, the sum of the short circuit voltage and the open circuit voltage will give the required Voc

Voc = Voc(open circuit) + Voc(short circuit)

Voc = 24 + 160

Voc = 184V.

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m_{1}=5.8 kg is the mass of the bowling ball

V_{1}=4.34 m/s is the velocity of the bowling ball

m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg is the mass of the ping-pong ball

V_{2} is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum p_{1} of the bowling ball is:

p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1} (1)

p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)  

p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s (2)

And the momentum p_{2} of the ping-pong ball is:

p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2} (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

p_{1}=p_{2} (4)

m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2} (5)

Isolating V_{2}:

V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}} (6)

V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg} (7)

Finally:

V_{2}=11369.46 m/s

maw [93]

Answer:

shrinks with all the fringes getting narrower

Explanation:

As the light passes through the slit, the diffraction pattern shrinks, as the waves have more opening to penetrate, and the fringes becomes more narrow as a result of that, The opposite happens as the conditions are reversed.
